The company originated as NOVA Corporation, founded by Edward Grzedzinski. In May 2001, U.S. Bancorp acquired NOVA Corporation, significantly expanding its financial services portfolio. NOVA later rebranded to Elavon in April 2008, signifying its evolution as a global payments entity and a core part of U.S. Bancorp’s merchant services. This foundational integration positioned Elavon to build on a strong legacy in payment infrastructure.

Elavon serves a diverse clientele ranging from small businesses to large enterprises across numerous industries, including retail, hospitality, healthcare, and government sectors. With a presence in over 36 countries, the company aims to simplify and enhance how businesses connect with customers at the point of sale. Its vision centers on accelerating commerce through smarter payment solutions, allowing clients to focus on their core operations while navigating the evolving payments landscape.
